Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/9] splice: don't check for uptodate if partially
 uptodate is impl

From: Pankaj Raghav <p.raghav@...sung.com>

When huge_page=always is set in tmpfs, it will zero out the whole page even
if only a small part of it is written, and it updates the uptodate flag of the
whole huge page.

Once the per-block uptodate tracking is implemented for tmpfs hugepages,
pipe_buf_confirm only needs to check the range it needs to splice to be
uptodate and not the whole folio as we don't set uptodate flag for partial
writes.

Other option here is to have a separate implementation of
page_cache_pipe_buf_ops  for tmpfs instead of changing the
page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm.
